Artist, researcher, thinker, educator and charismatic Genspace member Mara G. Haseltine will describe her adventures in the field of aquatic art, oysters and coral reefs where she uses sustainable materials to create living sculptures for shoreline protection, habitat and bio-remediation. Her work is fueled by a practice called 'Geotherapy' that addresses the link between our biological and cultural evolution. Mara is a fascinating speaker - both her art and her adventures are truly stunning!

Genspace

Genspace is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting culture, innovation and education in molecular biology for both children and adults. We work inside and outside of traditional settings, providing a safe, supportive environment for training and mentoring in biotechnology. In the summer of 2010, we built the first-ever community laboratory, a facility where we design workshops, train students and innovate new technologies. As a membership-based community lab, we offer New Yorkers the opportunity to work on their own projects in a safe, Biosafety level 1 facility.
